There are a multitude of reasons why folks engage in therapy and typically the search starts because something doesn’t feel quite right, what you've been trying doesn't seem to be working, or overwhelm is so big it's taking everything you've got to keep your head above water. If you or a loved one are feeling stuck, hurting, or maybe you aren’t sure, I’d love to speak with you to see if we can create something that you’ll find helpful. I have collaborated with adolescents, teens, families, and young adults to create and work toward goals and hopes that allow them to operate outside of what the problem tries to dictate.

If you feel like your brain just won’t turn off - like there are millions of tabs open and no clear way to close them, you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself replaying conversations, questioning your choices, or carrying expectations that feel heavier than they should. Family dynamics, cultural pressures, or past experiences may have shaped your self-perception, and now you simply want to feel more grounded, connected, and at ease. Therapy can be a space to pause, sort through what’s been weighing on you, and begin to build the clarity, confidence, and sense of self you’ve been searching for.

It's time to break free from old patterns. Do you feel like you’ve been struggling with the same cycle of emotions for years and don’t know if it will ever get better? Have you ever felt like your problems aren’t “bad enough” for counseling? You may be highly functional in some areas of your life while below the surface you are struggling with some heavy feelings. I believe that breaking these cycles is a courageous and transformative journey.

Welcome to my page! I work primarily with neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, PDA) clients and mixed neurotype couples/polycules . As a queer, and late diagnosed neurodivergent therapist, I love helping others to understand themselves better and advocate for their needs. Receiving my own diagnosis in adulthood came with grief and I’d love opportunity to help you work through the complicated emotions inherent in this type of identity exploration. Working with my brain instead of against it as been incredibly healing and has drastically improved my mental health; I hope to help my clients achieve the same freedom.
